IS IT NOT ME AGAIN??

Is it not me again?
that through the slimy hand of the ogbono
From mama Caro's seductive plates
And the blinding pepper soup across the road
To the bottom pot of Iyabo's jollof rice pot
have I stained my tinted heart with love

Is it not me again?
That walked over the red sea with my eyes closed
And leaped over seven continents with my legs tied
And trekked overseas to satisfy my longing for you?

Is it not me again?
Ignoring the drunken prophets
And blinded seers
And deafen my ears to the aching claps from
The regular prayer houses
All saying you weren't for me

Is it not me again?
That when tides and waves met
we captured our love in chaotic communion
And slept on the beds close to the rivers
Where our hearts can wet their dry longings
Till night covered us with loneliness

Is it not me again?
That will be here after you drop the notes
With repeated goodbyes and never-to-meet-again
As if the memories were mere experiences
That can be flushed like the poop in the system

Is it not me again?
That like the weakened flower flogged to the earth
by thousand tears drop
Will rise again at sunrise
And sort for mama Caro's ogbono
But this time the plates will not seduce me
For my heart will be the suya in aboki's furnace
